Tanishaa Mukerji says Kajol paid for her and mom Tanuja’s vintage home set-up: ‘She signs the cheque books’ |

While Farah Khan is known for directing movies like ‘Om Shanti Om’ and ‘Main Hoon Na’ after being one of the best choreographers in the industry, she’s loved for her cooking vlogs with chef Dilip ever since she started her Youtube channel. In the recent episode, Farah visited Tanishaa Mukerji’s home. The house, owned by the daughter of veteran actor Tanuja and sister of Kajol, impressed Farah with its blend of old Kolkata nostalgia and Turkish-inspired aesthetics.Looking around in admiration, Farah said, “I am loving this vibe. You cannot find a house like this in Mumbai. I feel like I have arrived in Kolkata.”The spacious living area featured heavy wooden furniture, antique lamps, glass décor accents and earthy beige-brown interiors, while two striking red sofas added a bold touch to the room.As the tour continued, Farah admired the elegant iron-and-wood staircase and joked, “You should wear a gown and make an entrance every morning.”The filmmaker was equally fascinated by the antique-style round glass dining table and curiously asked, “Do you all have family gatherings here?” Tanishaa responded with a smile, “Yes.”During their conversation, Farah mentioned that several members of the Mukherjee family, including filmmaker Ayan Mukerji, live nearby. Tanishaa added that the sons of legendary actor Joy Mukherjee also stay in the same lane. Calling the family a “prestigious lineage,” Farah praised Tanishaa’s grandfather, iconic filmmaker Sashadhar Mukherjee, for his contribution to Indian cinema.Reacting to the praise, Tanishaa shared, “We are very blessed and lucky. In fact, Deb Mukherjee has made a documentary on him. We are yet to release it. It is all a part of film history.” Tanishaa also revealed that much of the furniture in her current home had been brought from her previous family residence. “All this furniture is from my old house. I used to live in town, in an apartment,” she said.When Farah asked whether it was her mother Tanuja’s home, Tanishaa confirmed, “Yes, my mum’s house. This is all my mum’s furniture because my dad was not a very homely person.” Speaking about moving into the property, Tanishaa said, “I shifted here around 14 years ago. Now I am settled here. Bombay changed according to me. The Sea Link came up too.”The vlog then moved to the kitchen area, which carried the same old-world aesthetic as the rest of the home. Tanishaa revealed that they had switched to induction cooking in an attempt to conserve LPG usage. “Since Modi ji has said we need to save LPG, we have been cooking on induction. We didn’t get LPG cylinders for almost two months,” she explained.Recalling her time on Bigg Boss, Tanishaa also shared, “I learnt how to make parathas in the Bigg Boss house.”The duo later stepped onto the massive terrace decorated with plants, black outdoor seating arrangements and cozy lounging spots. Shocked by the sheer size of the space, Farah exclaimed, “Itna bada terrace!”When asked whether she spends a lot of time there, Tanishaa replied, “Mum comes up every morning for a walk. We both sit here for chai and coffee.”Pointing towards a large single-seater chair placed on the terrace, Tanishaa fondly revealed, “This is my dad’s chair.” Laughing about its size, she added, “All the Mukerji brothers are extra large, so they fit only on that chair.”Farah also admired the plants spread across the terrace, and Tanishaa proudly revealed that she had grown many of them herself. Curious about sister Kajol’s role in the house setup, Farah jokingly asked, “What’s Kajol’s contribution in all this?”Tanishaa instantly quipped, “She paid for it!” Bursting into laughter, Farah replied, “Okay, well done. That’s the only kind of contribution we want.”Adding to the joke, Tanishaa said, “She signs the cheque books.”The conversation then shifted to gatherings and celebrations hosted at the house. Tanishaa admitted she enjoys entertaining friends and family. “Yes, I am a party person. Every Holi, we have a party here, usually a sundowner with close friends and family,” she shared.The vlog concluded with Farah gifting Tanishaa several items from her brand collaborations. Accepting them warmly, Tanishaa revealed, “I am constructing a new house. I will use all these gifts there.”
